I have set up my DVD Profiler database on my main PC to share (Tools / Options / Sharing).  I have checked off "Share my collection on the network" and "Allow changes from remove clients".  "Grant Access To" is set to "My Network (subnet) only".

I'm able to connect to the database from my laptop but I'm not able to add DVDs (via DVD / Add to collection).  The option is just greyed out.  I tried adding a password under Tools / Options / Sharing / Change Access on my PC, but then I wasn't able to make any changes from my laptop and I could not find a way to enter a password in DVD Profiler on my laptop (my PC has the main database / my laptop is connecting remotely)

I find help with sharing via the in app Help non-existant, and the website support is pretty vague as well.  Anyone have any suggestions or able to explain how sharing works to get this to work.

Thanks

I believe that aspect of shared databases won't become active until the iphone version comes out.

Did you get this to work?
I have the issue now, and the Iphone app is out and I use it.
